A new preview from IGN at Namco Editors' Day 2008 revealed that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm will feature a primary story mode loosely covering the events of the first 135 episodes of the anime. The story mode will feature bosses as well. The boss seen in the demo by IGN was Gaara, a huge sand beast. They describe the battle as a battle "similar to God of War". We may be looking at an epic game for the PlayStation 3.

Regarding online play, unfortunately it will not be incorporated. "Unfortunately, we don't have any individual online matchmaking modes for the game, but we will be planning downloadable content that will hopefully compensate for the lack of that feature. We'll make sure we have something interesting for the downloadable content, don't worry." We won't worry one bit.
